Cinnamon Apple Pancake Bake
A heartwarming dish that combines fluffy pancakes with the delightful flavors of cinnamon and sweet apples, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups pancake mix The base of your bake.
- 1 cup milk Adds moisture and fluffiness.
- 2 pieces eggs Binds the ingredients together.
- 2 cups apples, diced For delightful sweetness.
- 1 tsp cinnamon Adds warmth and flavor.
- ¼ cup brown sugar For extra sweetness.
- ¼ cup maple syrup To drizzle on top.
- ½ tsp vanilla extract Enhances the overall flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by gathering all the ingredients mentioned above. Chop the apples into small, even pieces to ensure they bake uniformly.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for a hot oven helping to get that golden-brown crust you want.
- In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, and eggs. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Fold in the diced apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Take a greased baking dish and pour the apple pancake mixture evenly into it, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.
Baking
- Drizzle the maple syrup and vanilla extract on top of the batter.
- Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The bake is done when the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the dish cool for about 5–10 minutes to make serving easier.
- Cut the bake into squares, and serve warm, optionally adding whipped cream or more syrup as desired.
Notes
Store the bake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for about a minute to enjoy warm.
